The community is very tight knit which is helpful but also can make new students feel like outsiders. Sports are a huge deal. It is easy to get involved, and there are great resources for athletes. The workload is similar to college. with advanced classes to choose from and helpful teachers and staff to assist you when needed.

I transferred here my sophomore year from a public school. It was a great decision. I felt so much more supported my teachers here. My classes challenged me and the faculty wanted to be there. Everthing felt more intentional in comparison to my prior school caledonia high school.

My favorite part about South Christian was the sports and the community that they bring. I do not think there is anything massive that I would change but maybe they could add more options for classes.
